Gimbal assembly 104 except can also being designed to the motor torsional moment that cumulative motor 106 provides in response to user interface 102 motion and the rotation, and providing driving torque and feedback force and all offers user interface 102.Because the moment of torsion that offers user interface 102 from two motors 106, is therefore compared with existing known active feedback user interface system, the size of motor 106 can be smaller.In order to implement its function, gimbal assembly 104 is designed to dual input/single output difference actuation mechanism, and it can realize being subdued by the speed between the output that is input to differential attachment of differential attachment.The purpose that speed is subdued will further describe below.
Referring to accompanying drawing 2 and 3, wherein shown the reduced graph of the decision design of the gimbal assembly 104 that will describe.Can find out that the gimbal assembly 104 among the figure comprises the first input mechanism 132, the second input mechanisms 134, user interface driving mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138 (not showing among Fig. 3).The first input mechanism 132 is designed to around 112 rotations of the first rotation, and it is connected to receive the first motor torsional moment that is provided by the first motor 106-1.Although the first motor 106-1 can adopt a kind of in the multiple suitable technology that the first motor torsional moment is offered the first input mechanism 132, in illustrated embodiment, employing be by the first axle 202 and the first motor output mechanism 204 the first motor torsional moment to be offered the first input mechanism 132.More specifically, the first axle 202 and 206 rotating connections of gimbal framework, it rotates around the first rotation 112 with respect to gimbal framework 206.The first axle 202 also non-rotatably is connected to the first input mechanism 132 and the first motor output mechanism 204.The first motor output mechanism 204 in illustrated embodiment, is embodied as the form that adopts with drive pulley, and it will pass to from the motor torsional moment of the first motor 106-1 the first axle 202.
The second input mechanism 134 and the first input mechanism 132 intervals are arranged, also are designed to around 112 rotations of the first rotation.The second input mechanism 134 is connected to receive the second motor torsional moment that is provided by the second motor 106-2.Similar with the first motor 106-1, the second motor 106-2 offers the second input mechanism 134 by the second axle 208 and the second motor output mechanism 212 with the second motor torsional moment in illustrated embodiment.The second axle 208 and 206 rotating connections of gimbal framework, it rotates around the first rotation 112 with respect to gimbal framework 206.The second axle 208 and the second input mechanism 134, the second motor output mechanisms 212 connect un-rotatably.The second motor output mechanism 212 in illustrated embodiment, is embodied as the form that adopts with drive pulley equally, and it will pass to from the second motor torsional moment of the second motor 106-2 the second axle 208.
No matter the first and second output torques are offered the first and second input mechanisms 132, how 134 concrete mode is, the first input mechanism 132 is designed to provide the first output torque based on the first motor torsional moment that receives, and the second input mechanism 134 is designed to provide the second output torque based on the second motor torsional moment that receives.The first motor torsional moment and the second output torque offer user interface driving mechanism 136 successively.
User interface driving mechanism 136 is designed to be connected around 114 rotations of the second rotation and with user interface 102.User interface driving mechanism 136 also is designed to provide driving torque and feedback force to user interface 102 based on the first and second motor torsional moments that receive.In order to implement this function, user interface driving mechanism 136 is at least in illustrated embodiment, with 214 irrotational connections of the 3rd axle.The 3rd axle 214 and 206 rotating connections of gimbal framework, to rotate around the second rotation 1114 with respect to gimbal framework 206, the 3rd axle 214 non-rotatably is connected with user interface 102.
Idler mechanism 138 is arranged spaced apart with user interface driving mechanism 136, and it is designed to respect to user interface 102 around 114 rotations of the second rotation.Idler mechanism 138 also is connected to receive respectively the first and second output torques from the first and second input mechanisms 132,134.But because idler mechanism 138 is rotatable with respect to user interface 102, it can not provide any driving torque or feedback force to user interface accordingly.Can from accompanying drawing 2,3, be easy to find out, idler mechanism 138 and 216 non-rotatable connections of the 4th axle, and the 4th axle 216 is connected with user interface all rotatable connections with gimbal framework 206.Thereby the 4th axle 216 rotates around the second rotation 114 with respect to gimbal framework 206 and user interface 102.
Before further specifying, it is pointed out that and to adopt in the multiple technologies any will be respectively to pass to user interface output mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138 from the first output torque and second output torque of the first and second input mechanisms 132,134.For example, the first and second input mechanisms 132,134, user interface driving mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138 can be designed to meshing gear mechanism.But in illustrated embodiment, the first input mechanism 132, the second input mechanisms 134, user interface driving mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138 all are designed to be formed with on it pulley of rope groove 218.Rope 222 is arranged in the first input mechanism 132, the second input mechanisms 134, at least a portion of each rope groove 218 of driving mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138.Can know, in certain embodiments, the first input mechanism 132, the second input mechanisms 134, can all have two rope grooves in driving mechanism 136 and the idler mechanism 138, have two ropes with the mode of a rope in the groove be arranged at least in part two rope grooves in.A rear embodiment can provide redundant in the inoperation situation that a rope lost efficacy.
From the above, be understood that easily, the dual input that the first and second input mechanisms 132,134 correspondences dual input/single output difference actuation mechanism, and user interface driving mechanism 136 correspondences single output.Deceleration between the output that is input to differential attachment of above mentioned differential attachment is to realize by the size that the size that makes user interface driving mechanism 136 is different from the first and second input mechanisms 132,134.More specifically, the effective diameter of user interface driving mechanism 136 and therefore the effective diameter of idler mechanism 138 greater than the effective diameter of the first and second input mechanisms 132,134.
No matter how gimbal assembly 104 designs specific implementation to slow down, be understandable that, its can be designed to adopt multiple by the first and second input mechanisms 132,134 to the reduction gear ratio of user interface driving mechanism 136 (for example, N: 1 reduction gear ratio, wherein N>1) any one in.Therefore, as the first and second motor 106-1,106-2 is embodied as when adopting identical motor, N: 1 reduction gear ratio so that offer user interface 102 around the maximum drive torque N of the second rotation 114 doubly to offering the maximum drive torque of user interface 102 around the first rotation 112.In other words, when user interface 102 along the first rotation 112 directions move (for example before or after direction 116,118) time, the maximum feedback power that offers user interface 102 with N doubly to when its along the second rotation 114 directions (for example a left side or right 122, when 124) moving, offer the feedback force of user interface 102.Allow like this two motors 106 to be dimensioned to and satisfy around the required maximum drive torque of the first rotation 114 rotations, but still can realize around the required larger maximum drive torque of the first rotation rotation.
Except above-mentioned, gimbal assembly 104 comprises that preferably a plurality of passive feedback mechanisms feed back for user interface 102 provides the passive neutral position of getting back to.These passive feedback mechanisms provide one or more in the motor 106 not operate or provide for subsequent use of motor 106 when unavailable because of other reason.Be understandable that the quantity of passive feedback mechanism and type can have multiple, but in illustrated embodiment, it comprises the first spring 224 and the second spring 226.The first spring 224 links to each other with gimbal assembly 104, and being designed to user interface 102 provides the first restoring force to be used for opposing user interface 102 rotatablely moving around the first rotation 112.The second spring 226 also links to each other with gimbal assembly 104, provides the second restoring force to be used for opposing user interface 102 rotatablely moving around the second rotation 114 but be designed to user interface 102.The type of spring can be various, but in concrete preferred embodiment, the first and second springs 224,226 all are embodied as and adopt a plurality of springs.
To active man-machine interface system 100, and the explanation carried out of the general structure that comprises the gimbal assembly 104 of this system 100, below will further specify the running of system 100, more specifically, how motor controller 108 is designed to apply energy to one or two motor 106 selectively.When describing, suppose that first user interface 102 is to be in neutral position 110 at first.Suppose also that in addition user interface system 100 is installed in means of transport, for example on the aircraft shown in Fig. 4 402, it is at least around two vertical axis---and rolling axis 404 and pitch axis 406 are controlled.Such as common understanding, also around the axis of the 3rd quadrature, yaw axes 408 is controlled to aircraft 402, and for the purpose of complete, yaw axes 408 has also shown in Fig. 4.
Referring to accompanying drawing 5, wherein shown the reduced graph of the part of user interface 102 and gimbal assembly 104.Concrete, wherein shown the first and second input mechanisms 132,134, user interface driving mechanism 136 and idler mechanism 138.Should be pointed out that for convenient diagram and purpose for illustrative purposes only the user interface driving mechanism 136 that shows among the figure and idler mechanism 138 have and the first and second input mechanisms 132,134 diameters identical or that approach very much.
In conjunction with the background of front, and with reference to the accompanying drawings 5, if the driver on the aircraft 402 wishes to implement to bow action, the driver will be at mobile user interface 102 forward or on the nutation direction 502.For correct driving moment and feedback being provided for user interface 102, motor controller 108 in response to the user interface motor message that provides to it, will apply energy with in the opposite direction rotation will for simultaneously the first and second motor 106-1,106-2.Concrete, the first motor 106-1 will be applied in energy rotating around the first rotation on first direction 504, and the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy to rotate around the first rotation on second direction 506.The corresponding like this user interface driving mechanism 136 that can cause rotates around the second rotation 114 on third direction 508.
Be understood that easily, the action if the driver wishes implement to come back, the driver will be at mobile user interface 102 backward or on the nose-up direction 512.For correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, motor controller 108 in response to the user interface motor message that provides to it, will apply energy with in the opposite direction rotation also will for simultaneously the first and second motor 106-1,106-2.But the first motor 106-1 will be applied in energy rotating around the first rotation 112 on second direction 506, and the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy with on first direction 504 around 112 rotations of the first rotation.As a result, user interface driving mechanism 136 will rotate around the second rotation 114 on to 514 in the four directions.
Now, if the driver wishes to implement tumbling action to the right, the driver will be at mobile user interface 102 on right or right rolling direction 516.For correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, motor controller 108 in response to the user interface motor message that provides to it, will be given the first and second motor 106-1 simultaneously, and 106-2 applies energy to rotate in identical direction.Concrete, the first motor 106-1 and the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy to rotate around the first rotation 112 on second direction 506.Therefore, user interface driving mechanism 136 will can not rotate around the second rotation 114.
Be understood that easily if the driver wishes to implement tumbling action left, the driver will be at mobile user interface 102 on left direction or the left rolling direction 518.For correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, motor controller 108 in response to the user interface motor message that provides to it, also will be given the first and second motor 106-1 simultaneously, and 106-2 applies energy to rotate in identical direction.But the first motor 106-1 and the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy to rotate around the first rotation 112 on first direction 504.Again, therefore user interface driving mechanism 136 will can not rotate around the second rotation 114.
Top operation is that the what is called of user interface 102 " is moved on the axle ".Also namely, the operation of user interface 102 is along the first rotation 112 or the second rotation 114.For user interface 102 both along rotation 112, again along the operation of rotation 114, it is claimed " striding the axle action ", motor controller 108 is designed to selectively only to apply energy with rotation to motor 106 one of them, or applies energy to rotate in identical or different direction with different rotational speeies simultaneously for selectively two motors 106.Activate one or two actually and all be applied in energy with rotation, and the direction of rotation, depend on the concrete vector motion of striding the axle action of user interface 102.
For example, if the driver wishes to implement nutation/right tumbling action, the driver will be on front-right or nutation/right rolling direction 522 mobile user interface 102.If nutation/right tumbling motion has comprised the vector component on pitch axis and roll axis that equates, motor controller 108 so, provide correct driving torque and feedback in order to give user interface 102, apply energy with rotation will only for the second motor 106-2.Concrete, the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy to rotate around the first rotation 112 on second direction 506.And this will cause user interface driving mechanism 136 to rotate around the second rotation 114 on third direction 508 accordingly.But, if the vector component facing upward on axle and the roll axis that nutation/right tumbling motion comprises is unequal, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, to apply energy with rotation to two motors 106, but the two is in the opposite direction with different speed rotations.Concrete, the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy, and the first motor 106-1 will be applied in energy to rotate at first direction 504 to rotate in second direction 506; Will be greater than the rotational speed of the first motor 106-1 but the second motor 106-2 is applied in the rotational speed that energy obtains.
In order to implement nutation/left tumbling action, the driver will front-left to or nutation/left rolling direction 524 on mobile user interface 102.If nutation/left tumbling motion has comprised the vector component on pitch axis and roll axis that equates, motor controller 108 so, provide correct driving torque and feedback in order to give user interface 102, apply energy with rotation will only for the first motor 106-1.Concrete, the first motor 106-1 will be applied in energy rotating around the first rotation 112 on first direction 504, and this will cause user interface driving mechanism 136 to rotate around the second rotation 114 on third direction 508 accordingly.But, if the vector component facing upward on axle and the roll axis that nutation/left tumbling motion comprises is unequal, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, to apply energy with in first direction 504 rotation to two motors 106, but the two is with different speed rotations.Concrete, the first motor 106-1 is applied in the rotational speed that energy obtains will be greater than the rotational speed of the second motor 106-2.
In order to implement to face upward/right tumbling action, the driver will or face upward in rear-right/right rolling direction 526 on mobile user interface 102.If face upward/right tumbling motion comprised the vector component on pitch axis and roll axis that equates, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, apply energy on second direction 506, to rotate around the first rotation 112 will only for the first motor 106-1.And this will cause user interface driving mechanism 136 to rotate around the second rotation 114 on to 514 in the four directions.But, if face upward/the vector component facing upward on axle and the roll axis that right tumbling motion comprises is unequal, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, to apply energy with rotation to two motors 106, but the two is in the opposite direction with different speed rotations.Concrete, the first motor 106-1 will be applied in energy, and the second motor 106-2 will be applied in energy in first direction 504 rotations to rotate in second direction 506; Will be greater than the rotational speed of the second motor 106-2 but the first motor 106-1 is applied in the rotational speed that energy obtains.
Be understood that easily, for facing upward/left tumbling action, the driver will rear-left to or face upward/left rolling direction 528 on mobile user interface 102.If face upward/left tumbling motion comprised the vector component on pitch axis and roll axis that equates, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, apply energy on first direction 504, to rotate around the first rotation 112 will only for the second motor 106-2.And this will cause user interface driving mechanism 136 to rotate around the second rotation 114 on to 514 in the four directions.But, if face upward/the vector component facing upward on axle and the roll axis that left tumbling motion comprises is unequal, motor controller 108 so, for correct driving torque and feedback being provided for user interface 102, to apply energy with in first direction 504 rotation to two motors 106, but the two is with different speed rotations.Concrete, the second motor 106-2 is applied in the rotational speed that energy obtains will be greater than the rotational speed of the first motor 106-1.
